They dig into California's new $20/hr fast-food wage, how corporate support and smarter deals helped them steady sales, and the community-first tactics that keep customers coming back. Above all, they're building a culture by doing the hardest jobs themselves, mentoring their crew, and taking calculated risks—not lottery-ticket ones.5–7 Key Takeaways From door hangers to owners: Starting at the bottom gave them credibility with their team and an operator's eye for the details that matter. Choose partners wisely: Drop the ego, communicate, and make decisions together—partnerships thrive on humility and trust. Calculated risk > blind risk: College can teach frameworks, but entrepreneurship is learned by doing; fail, adjust, repeat. Expansion is logistics, not just vision: GC delays, city permits, and rent during buildouts can crush timelines and cash—second-gen spaces can save ~$100–250K. Franchise leverage helps: Brand, ops support, and rapid promo pivots (e.g., after the $20/hr wage hit) can stabilize traffic when conditions change. Community beats coupons: Little gestures (a free ranch, knowing names) build word-of-mouth and event turnout in a non-tourist market. Lead by example: Owners doing the least desirable tasks set the standard; that's how you create consistent service and product quality.

Welcome back to another episode of the EUVC Podcast, where we gather Europe's venture family to share the stories, insights, and lessons that drive our ecosystem forward.Today we welcome Alex Bakir, General Partner at Norrsken Evolve, the new €57M pre-seed fund spun out of the legendary Norrsken family of funds.

We just declared a new motto in Body Talk: It's easier for your body to go biggerWhen you give it a bigger reason to expand, everything aligns: energy, magnetism, clients, cash.That's why I called it an emergency. Because everyone should know excatly how to 10X TODAY. In this recording, we broke down the truth no one is talking about how much easier it was to have a $250K launch this year compared to a $25K launch last year.

Send us a textMost production companies hit a wall between $250K and $500K in revenue. They're too established to compete on price but not big enough to win on reputation, stuck in what's called the authority gap. The usual “hustle harder” approach of chasing leads and pitching only makes it worse.In this episode, we explore the four-part farming system that helps production companies break through the $500K ceiling and build predictable, sustainable growth. You'll learn how to:Focus on the right decision-makers instead of chasing everyoneDeliver value-first insights that position you as a trusted partnerBuild a follow-up system that keeps relationships alive long-termCarve out authority by specializing in a niche, not competing on priceIf you're tired of the constant grind of pitching and want to create steady inbound opportunities, this episode is your roadmap to scaling with confidence.Mentoring options : www.denlennie.com Connect with Den on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/den_lennie

From heartbreak to fragrance empire: How PHLUR became the Taylor Swift of scent When Chriselle Lim took over PHLUR in 2021, she was going through a divorce and wanted to bottle up loneliness itself, specifically, the scent of someone's skin that brings warmth when you're alone. What started as emotional therapy became a fragrance phenomenon with 250,000-person waitlists. This week on The Formula, Kelly chats with the woman behind PHLUR about turning personal trauma into business gold, why fragrance wardrobes are replacing signature scents, and how she built a community so devoted they'll blind-buy every release. From the genius behind fragrance names like Father Figure and Missing Person, to why Gen Alpha treats fragrance like fashion, Chriselle reveals how storytelling drives every scent creation. Plus, she reveals which PHLUR fragrance to try first (spoiler: it's the "blue jeans of fragrance") and her take on what Australia would smell like as a scent.

He covers the scrapping of the U.S. flight delay compensation plan, explaining what protections travelers still have and why booking with the right credit card is more important than ever.

Additional updates include Alaska Airlines ending its LATAM partnership, Hilton Honors' third devaluation in less than a year, Hyatt Regency's new bonus points promotion, and key transfer bonuses from Amex, Citi, and Capital One.

In this episode, we sit down with Suzy Perry—a nomadic healer whose entire life changed the moment she chose to say no to the system and yes to her own body. What followed was a radical trust in intuition that not only helped her heal four cancerous tumors and a traumatic brain injury, but ultimately led her into her life's work: guiding others through subconscious reprogramming via hypnobreathwork. You'll hear how Suzy moved from being “Boozy Suzy” in the music industry to bathing in Chinese herbs in a Buddhist healing center in Thailand. We explore what it really means to face your own mortality—not once, but twice—and how those experiences can unlock a level of intuitive clarity that rewrites your relationship to time, money, and meaning itself. This episode invites you to see life as a frequency-led playground, where healing doesn't always look like fixing—but rather, remembering what's true. We talk about energetic debt, the nervous system's role in wealth, and why neutrality—not intensity—is the space of real expansion. Suzy also shares how she navigated £250K in debt post-healing, transformed her London home into a sanctuary, and trusted the universe to move her into a new chapter in Turkey. If you're in a season of identity shift, financial rebirth, or deep listening—this one will find you. And if you're ready to go deeper into this level of freedom through frequency, join us inside The SI Club Advanced. From investing intuition to real-time polarity work, this is your space to create wealth through who you're becoming.   thespiritualinvestor.com   To learn more about Suzy, visit her Instagram below. https://www.instagram.com/breathewithsuzy/?hl=en

"Would you shoot your thumb off for $250K a year for the next 30 years?"That's the jaw-dropping question that kicks off one of the most bizarre, hilarious, and thought-provoking segments ever aired on The Ben and Skin Show. Join Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they dive headfirst into the twisted tale of a British doctor who amputated his own legs—not for medical reasons, but for sexual gratification and insurance fraud.

 "Would you cut off your thumb for $250K a year?"That's just one of the many outrageous questions posed in this absolutely unhinged, laugh-packed episode of The Ben and Skin Show. Join hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they take you on a rollercoaster ride through sports, pop culture, and the absurd. From Dirk Nowitzki's cryptic comments about Mavericks ownership to robot waiters serving tacos and margaritas, this episode is a masterclass in unpredictable entertainment. Robot Waiters & Free Margaritas: Skin's wild encounter at a taqueria featuring Rosie the Robot and questionable alcohol giveaways.Hollywood Shuffle: The crew roasts The Ringer's “101 Best Acting Performances Since 2000” list, with hot takes on Kevin Garnett, Margot Robbie, and Jake Gyllenhaal.Death Quickies: A look at bizarre and tragic ways people have recently died—including cliff falls, bear attacks, and a Grand Canyon plunge.The Wildest Fetish Ever: A British doctor amputates his own legs for sexual gratification.

In this episode of The Daily Windup, I take you to the whiteboard and show why the “slow, organic staircase” rarely works in Government contracting—especially if you're doing this part-time. 10,000 hours at 40 hrs/week is ~5 years; at 20 hrs/week it's ~10 years, and real businesses zig-zag with downturns. Then I reveal the faster path: joint ventures. We break down the play you'll see in our clip—land a $20M award, leverage that instant track record, walk to the next door and stack another $30M for $50M in year one with one employee, because the agency looked at your partner's financials and capacity. That's speaking the language: position, partner, perform. Next, I run the math everyone ignores on $25K micro-buys at 20% margin. Year 1: 2 contracts = $50K revenue ($10K profit). Year 2: $100K revenue ($20K profit ≈ $10/hr). Year 3: $250K revenue ($50K profit). Year 4: 20 contracts = $500K revenue for $100K profit—nearly two contracts a month for a salary you could earn as a W-2 without the headache. The takeaway: stop chasing low-probability bids; use JVs to borrow past performance and balance-sheet strength, target bigger, better-aligned Government Contract opportunities, and engineer step-changes—not stair steps.
